Lord of War

The night is so dense that it is almost impossible to see your fingers.

The moon at this time seemed to be frightened by the cruel and ferocious killings on the earth, so it hid in the thick clouds, not even in a good mood to open its eyes.

The Viscount of Nordara, this is a territory connected to the fiefdom of the Finnstein family. Although it nominally belongs to the fiefdom of the Romeis family, the hereditary viscount of Nodara, since a prostitute daughter of the Finstein family married into the Romeis family a hundred years ago, this territory has actually belonged to Finlistine. The vassal of the family provides the Finnstein family with a large amount of considerable taxes and precious resources every year.

But in Heye, this viscounty territory is destined to usher in a disaster.

An army of 500 people in charge of guarding the territory of Anhui was completely defeated by a cavalry unit just two hours ago. If this cavalry unit had no intention of pursuing, I am afraid that this army would be completely wiped out. . But even if there are still hundreds of routs who regroup and return, they have already lost the courage to continue to fight against the army that defeated them.

At this moment, the entire Viscount of Nodara would be an undefended military blank area.

But it's not over yet.

After defeating Viscount Nodara's guard army, the cavalry unit did not stop there, but continued southward, destroying all visible facilities along the way, and even invaded towns and cities. Destroy its important facilities. In just two hours, Viscount Nodara lost more than 30,000 gold coins, and even if Viscount Nodara was willing to invest a lot of money in rebuilding, it would not be possible to restore them within a month or two. , so if you want to count the losses accumulated over a long period of time, the losses in this account are conservatively estimated to be at least more than 200,000 gold coins.

This is only the loss within two months. If the time is longer, or if the cavalry unit destroys more things along the way, then the loss estimate will become more and more difficult and higher.

No lord would allow such an enemy army to wreak havoc on his territory.

But this time, the Romis family had a hard time.

Although the number of this cavalry unit is less than 300, it far exceeds their territorial guards in terms of equipment, weapons, personal strength, and commander's ability. Therefore, in the first face-to-face charge alone, they left dozens of corpses, and the number of wounded was no less than the number of dead in battle. Afterwards, the entire cavalry unit of the opponent completed one attack at a distance of about 100 meters. Turning around and charging in a perfect arc, the commander of the Romes family guard knew that there was no need to fight this battle.

Being able to complete such a precise and neat short-arc return in this way is the minimum standard definition for the Knights in the entire Miracle Continent.

In other words, this cavalry unit that cut them apart like cream in the first round of charge is not an ordinary cavalry, but a knight order!

After two rounds of charges, the Romanis family's territorial guard was completely defeated, with more than 200 casualties.

After that, there was another round of short-arc counter-charges, and the entire territorial guard was completely defeated. Without any courage to counter-attack, they could only flee in all directions, and were trampled by their own people in the process. At least dozens of people died.

It was also after the third round of charge that the commander of the Romes family's territorial guard finally saw the emblem of this knight order clearly.

It is a bright red as the background color,

It is engraved with an eagle-shaped shield and the emblem of a knight's sword and a spear crossed.

This badge, in the Second National War

Ryan historians have called the war between the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion the Second National War, because it was this war that made the Principality of Ryan re-upgraded to a kingdom-no one knew it before, but since the first After the Second National War, this badge instantly became one of the most important legion badges in the entire Ryan Kingdom.

Because the legion represented by this badge is the Duke of the Void, the Knights under Sean Connery's command, and it is also the emblem of the only Knights in the Kingdom of Ryan.

Scarlet Knights.

In the face of a frontal assault by a real knight order, not to mention that the Romanis family's territorial guard has only 500 people and is usually neglected in training, even if it has a thousand people, it will definitely not be the opponent of the Scarlet Knights. So this big defeat will be a matter of reason, and knowing the decision made by the Finlisting family and the situation of the Finlisting family's territory, the Romeis family naturally dare not continue to obstruct The advance of this order of knights.

Not only dare not, but also no longer have this strength.

Therefore, for the destruction of the Scarlet Knights along the way, the Romes Han clan can only consider themselves unlucky.

It's just that the panic that the Romeis family will suffer tonight obviously doesn't stop there. Because two hours after the Scarlet Knights defeated the Romanis family's territorial guard, there was another news that the current patriarch of the Romeis family, Quick Fenrisian Romeis, fainted from fright.

One of the three main forces under the Duke of the Void, the Lion of Thunder has formally joined hands with the Scarlet Knights in the Ashless Hills of Viscount Nordara. And Huiwu Town, which relies on Huiwu Hills as its main industry, was directly taken over by Thunder Lion and put under military jurisdiction. It directly used this as a base to carry out military fortification and rectification. The headquarters is listed as a military restricted area.

The five-kilometer defense area around Huiwu Town happened to include the Huiwu Hills into the defense area, and this line of defense happened to connect with the territory of the Finnstein family. The Thunder Lion occupied this area, which was tantamount to establishing an outpost on the fringes of the Finnstein family. Whether it continued to harass and plunder the Viscount of Nodara, or It is up to the Thunder Lion and the Scarlet Knights to invade Listing's territory.

This behavior is no different from an invasion.

Invading the territories of other nobles is tantamount to declaring war on the noble and his allies.

Logically speaking, an unreasonable move like Sean's would definitely cause a strong backlash from the aristocratic circle, and it would even usually be the beginning of a civil war. But this time, Viscount Nordara didn't even have the mood to ask for help from the Finnstein family, because he knew very well that even if he asked for help now, the Finnestin family would not be able to spare anyone to help him, because They are now encircling Xiao En in the territory.

It's just different from Xiao En's approach, they all do it secretly, at least they know how to wear a layer of camouflage.

But the Duke of the Void has mobilized the army to invade without any scruples, and he is not even willing to do a little bit of camouflage. Such a grandiose invasion is really unacceptable to Viscount Nodara. But he also knew that the current situation was beyond his control, whether he could accept it or not, he could only choose to bear it. As for things like launching a counterattack, this Viscount Nodara has completely given up.

Because he has learned in just over two hours that the commander who led the Thunder Lions this time is the one who swallowed the Mountain Lions by himself and won the title of "Lion King" Alfred Worcester.

More importantly, being able to include the range within five male stars in a radius as a defense zone is enough to prove that the Thunder Lions are definitely not a small force like two teams, but the entire Thunder Lions army. out.

But before that, Viscount Nodara hadn't heard any news. The more he thought about this, the more he feared the Thunder Lion.

But no matter what he said, he believed that by tomorrow, all the lords in the surrounding territories would know that the Thunder Lion and the Scarlet Knights had invaded. And with the official debut of these two armies, the storm that started from this point will soon sweep through and involve all the surrounding territories, and even a steady stream of troops will be mobilized and invested here. This war zone will also officially become a meat grinder-style killing battlefield.

Thinking of the impending war that might destroy the entire Viscounty of Nodara, the lord Quaker Bliss Jiang Romeis wanted to cry.

At the same time, in the outpost that has been established in Huiwu Town, the soldiers of the Thunder Lion are constantly driving away the residents of Huiwu Town. However, most of the soldiers of the Thunder Lion are naked from the upper body, not even wearing armor, just wielding tools such as giant hammers to demolish all the houses marked with red crosses, and then Materials such as stone, wood, etc. were transported to other designated locations, and corresponding defensive facilities began to be built.

The so-called rectification of military fortresses means that everything is based on stronghold defense as the core consideration. At this time, whether it is personal assets or houses, if necessary, all must be demolished. So once a town is listed as a stronghold and undergoes military fortification and rectification, it usually means that the town will be completely destroyed.

Located in a command center temporarily built in Huiwu Town, Alfred was staring intently at a map on the table, on which several circles had been drawn with a red ink pen, and at the same time there was a line marking these The circles will all be connected in series with red lines. In addition, there are several places that have been painted with red slashes, and the words one, two, and three are also marked on them.

Suddenly there were footsteps.

Alfred raised his head and saw three knights walking towards the command center. The two knights who were half a body behind the young knight in the middle stopped at the door of the command center, and only the middle one The knight stepped in.

"Lord Alfred." Upon entering the command center, the young knight gave a military salute, and then stood erectly opposite Alfred.

"Captain Dwight, you don't need to be so serious." Alfred smiled, "The surprise battle at night and the subsequent destruction along the way are all thanks to you."

"I'm just following your lord's instructions."

"That's not my instruction, it's William's instruction." Alfred smiled, "The combination of William and Hela is simply terrifying. I'm afraid the viscount Nodara doesn't even know what we are doing. penetrated."

Thinking of this, the serious Dwight not only raised his mouth, "Then what shall we do next?"

"According to the information provided by Hella, William has already analyzed where Sean might go, but Hela also said that the nobles will definitely not let Sean leave so easily, so if you go deep into Finlisting If you are in the family territory, there will inevitably be encounters with the enemy, so please be prepared for a large number of battle reductions." Alfred's expression also became serious, "Our biggest advantage at this time is that other lords have not yet Discover our actions, but according to William's speculation, the entire Ryan will know about our invasion by noon tomorrow at the latest, so you don't have any rest time, Captain Dwight."

"Master Alfred, please order." Dwight said in a deep voice.

"You must remember these travel routes." Alfred pointed to the places marked with red circles on the map, "Because the possibility of encountering enemy sniping is extremely high, before arriving at Baimengsen, you must do not The three requirements of love for war, no division of troops, and no initiative. After that, the search area will change in two directions, north and south, so you can only explore by dividing your troops, but no matter what the result is, you will end up in Green Spring. Once your troops have reunited and you haven't found Lord Xiao En, no matter what, you must turn back here immediately."

While saying this, Alfred clicked on the slashed area marked 2 on the map: "I will set off after you, and I will leave 3,000 soldiers here for defense, and along the way south I will also establish two strongholds in the future..., this is our second supply point. Once the enemy knows that we have established an outpost in such a deep area, they will definitely launch a strong attack and cut off our retreat, so come to We will probably need to retake the security of the logistics line at that time, so I need the assistance of the Scarlet Knights."

"I see, Lord Alfred!" Dwight nodded heavily, "I will definitely obey the order."

"One more thing, please remember." Alfred said again, "According to Hella's estimation, you only have three days to act, and on the morning of the fourth day, no matter whether you have reached the River of Green Spring , and no matter whether you find Sean or not, you must return to this stronghold immediately."

"Then if you still haven't found Mr. Sean by then..."

"Don't worry, if you still haven't found Sean by then, William said, we can let go and make a big fuss." Alfred's eyes became sharper, and the true ferocity of the lion king was also revealed at this time As strong as Dwight, he felt the murderous intent almost suffocating him, "I will gather all the troops directly here..." Alfred pointed to the diagonal area marked with "three" on the map: "..., build a combat base."

Dwight looked at the marks on the map, his eyes shrank suddenly, but it was not fear, but excitement.

Because the place Alfred pointed to was Finnsteinburg, the most important heart of the territory of the Finnstein family!
